Earlier today, the Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif while speaking on the floor said that coming Friday should be observed as Al-Quds day.
The prime minister in meeting with spokespersons also discussed the economic situation of the country and the contempt petition filed by Shahbaz Sharif link against the government’s decision to place his name on the Exit Control List (ECL) despite the Lahore High Court order.
The premier while commenting on Shehbaz’s matter said that his name was put on the no-fly list as he is under trial in various corruption cases.
As airstrikes by Israeli forces continue in Gaza with targeting houses and high-rise buildings, the death toll has surpassed 200 on Monday.
